The Group (by Mary McCarthy) is a frank
book about eight Vassar girls in the 1930's who speak candidly about men, sex, contraception, finances, and sexism-- and though I pride myself on my
extensive vocabulary, I had to look up the word "pessary". . . and I'll bet that you don't know what a
"pessary" is either, and we are not talking about a "peccary," we are talking about a "pessary"-- and believe me, they are not interchangeable at all.
